House narrowly rejects bid to curb NSA domestic surveillance | Politics and Law - CNET News

House narrowly rejects bid to curb NSA domestic surveillance | Politics and Law - CNET News: "In an indication that Edward Snowden's disclosures about broad government surveillances are having a political impact, the U.S. House of Representatives came within seven votes on Wednesday of curbing a program that vacuums up the logs of all Americans' phone calls.
An amendment that would have ended the National Security Agency's use of the Patriot Act to conduct mass surveillance of Americans' phone call metadata failed by a vote of 205 to 217."
